1962 Willys M38a1 - footwell - Photo 33912462

A clean firewall design was assembled from aluminum sheet after spending time on the shear and sheet metal brake. A '79 Ford 2WD pickup power steering box is mounted in the upper portion of the driver footwell. The sector shaft protrudes through the floor where a pitman arm connects to a relay rod that extends forward to the bell crank assembly on the front axle. Erik fabricated the throttle pedal and brake pedals from scratch. No vacuum brake booster is used on the brake master to simplify the system and keep braking force consistent under all conditions.
